It is on your SME Server/e-smith CDROM and installed on all systems. > and the following line also caught me: > > Requires: e-smith-base, e-smith-lib, e-smith >= 4.1 > > Especially the last part "e-smith >= 4.1". What are we supposed to > put in here? Just drop the 'e-smith' dependency. It is now historical. There used to be (way back when) a single e-smith RPM.

The use of --nodeps implies a dependency problem :-) Seriously, people should be very wary of --nodeps and even more so of --force. Both are likely to cause you problems with future upgrades. > I tried poking around with rpm -q and could not find the correct value > to put in here.

Many of the RPMs are still tagged 'e-smith' and are likely to be for some time to come. This is the best test: e-smith-release >= 5.0 > Any guidance is appreciated.
